  Thematic/lyrical content: societal collapse, cyclical nature of history, indifference of the march of time

  A Monument to Oblivion is both authoritative and pummeling, but what helps it stand out even further are its powerful grooves and strong melodic choruses. Often using layered clean vocals atop the harsh to further emphasize these bombastic moments, Centuries of Decay have manged to create some high highs on this record. Drums and particularly cymbal work are also a highlight throughout. While maybe slightly overlong at an hour, A Monument to Oblivion nonetheless delivers an engaging and formidable listen.
